Unlock Miracles: The Contactless Automatic Card At Number Ebook

Step into a new dimension of card magic with 'Contactless Automatic Card At Number' by Biagio Fasano, Volume 1. This groundbreaking ebook introduces a collection of astonishing 'Any Card At Any Number' (ACAAN) effects that defy explanation, yet require absolutely no sleight of hand. Imagine performing incredible card revelations where the spectator handles the deck, chooses the card and number, and ultimately discovers the miracle happening in their own hands—without you ever touching the cards after the initial setup. This is self-working magic at its finest, designed to leave audiences utterly dumbfounded, making it perfect for magicians of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros.

The Principles of Pure Deception

Biagio Fasano's innovative approach adheres to a set of core principles that maximize impact and spectator involvement. First, the deck, whether stacked or gimmicked, is always presentable and can even be quickly examined by a spectator. Crucially, once a false shuffle is complete, the deck is handed over to the spectator, and you, the performer, will not touch it again until the effect's climax. Your role transforms into that of a guide, providing clear instructions for the spectator to follow. They genuinely believe they have complete freedom in choosing both the card and the number, elevating the perceived impossibility of each effect.

Featured Effects in Volume 1

This inaugural volume delves into three distinct and powerful ACAAN routines:

C.O.C.A.I.N. ACAAN:

Inspired by a brilliant idea from Richard Osterlind, this routine starts with a shuffled deck. The spectator cuts the deck, peeks at their cut card, loses it, and then freely names any number. Amazingly, when they count down to that chosen number, their previously selected card is found waiting for them at that exact position. A truly baffling demonstration of mentalism and foresight.

Touchless C.A.D.N. ACAAN:

Here, randomness is taken to a new level. The spectator rolls three regular dice to generate a random number. After selecting a card, shuffling, and cutting the deck themselves, they proceed to count down to the number indicated by the dice. In an impossible reveal, their chosen card appears precisely at the dice-generated position. It's a clean and stunning effect that feels utterly impossible.

X-MEN ACAAN:

A spectator receives a shuffled deck and cuts it into three piles. They note a card and then lose it back into the deck. The performer then reveals that an 'X' has magically appeared on the back of one specific card. While not the chosen card, counting a certain number of cards from this 'X-marked' card leads directly to the spectator's original selection. A multi-layered mystery that builds to a sensational finish.

Magicians like Michael Daniels, Ori Ascher, and Davide Rubat Remond have praised these effects for their cleverness, deceptive nature, and ability to profoundly baffle audiences and even experienced magicians. 'These are strong effects that will baffle laymen (and most magicians). They fooled me,' notes Michael Daniels. This ebook, totaling 13 pages and packed with 4145 words, provides all the detailed instructions you need to perform these incredible miracles.

The first part of a new card project including 3 new A.C.A.A.N. effects requiring no sleight of hands: C.O.C.A.I.N. ACAAN, Touchless C.A.D.N. ACAAN and X-MEN ACAAN.

No particular skill is required, just the ability to instruct and pay attention to what the viewer is doing...

In this first eBook you will find a PDF that will allow you to perform amazing simple and self-working "Any Card At Any Number" Effects.

These are the simple rules that all my effects obey in this project:

1. The deck in use could be stacked or gimmicked, but anyway it must be possible to show it to the audience (and in case, to be quickly examined by a spectator).
2. Once the cards have been (falsely) shuffled, the deck is given to a spectator and the performer will no longer touch it until the effect ends.
3. The performer will simply provide all the instructions that the spectator will follow and the effect will happen in his own hands.
4. Viewers will truly believe they have complete freedom in choosing both the number and the card.

Effects Included in Volume 1:
C.O.C.A.I.N. ACAAN:
(inspired by a Richard Osterlind's idea and published with his kind permission).
A shuffled deck is introduced and given to a spectator who can cut it as he likes and look at the card where he cut the last time . Then he will lose that card in the deck and freely choose a number. He will place on the table that number of cards, and amazingly his card will be found at that exact position.

Touchless C.A.D.N. ACAAN:
The spectator will throw 3 regular dice to choose a random number, and after he will have selected a card, shuffled and cut the deck, he will find his card at that exact position scored by the dice.

X-MEN ACAAN:
A shuffled deck is given to a viewer, who will cut the deck in three, count the cards in the last pile and look at the last card he cut, which will be lost in the deck. Then, the performer will say that he has just made appear a big X on the back of one and one card only. Searching for it, the spectator will find that card but it will not be the chosen one. Anyway, starting from there and counting exactly his number of cards, it will be found the right card he selected!

"These are strong effects that will baffle laymen (and most magicians). They fooled me. The self-working methods (based on an idea by Richard Osterlind) are clever, deceptive and well-disguised. The principles used could also be adapted for other presentations...You get a clever and powerful couple of effects... " - Michael Daniels

"...The first effect is interesting, it has a bit of "weird" moment and it is handled nicely...The second one, with the dice, I like more: it has some nice principles used in it, besides the main one. Not much to criticize here, it's just a good effect...Overall, this is good, easy to do and fun. It's also a fooler - fooled me good...If you are looking for something to fool your friends, even experienced magicians, this should do the trick." - Ori Ascher

"...They are great effects, with some important strengths ... The first effect is really inexplicable ... The finding of the chosen card surprises and pleasantly amazes ... Overall it is an easy to perform routine and of great impact. In the second trick... the miracle really happens, and the chosen card is found at the number indicated by the dice. All very clean ... Stunning." - Davide Rubat Remond

”Great job, powerful and very nice! ... All the effects I saw absolutely fooled me. Bravo Biagio!" - Mariano Tomatis

"I saw your first contactless A.C.A.A.N effects: congratulations. I really like "X-Men ACAAN", it follows more traditional paths but the trick is still incomprehensible and the one with the dice (Card at Dice's Number ACAAN) is TOP! Sincere congratulations!" - Diego Allegri
